Hebrews 1

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

2 But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

3 Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

4 Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

5 To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

6 And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

8 But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.

9 You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

10 You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

11 They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

12 They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

13 But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

14 Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?

Good News Translation GNT

1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors many times and in many ways through the prophets,

2 but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one through whom God created the universe, the one whom God has chosen to possess all things at the end.

3 He reflects the brightness of God's glory and is the exact likeness of God's own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power.

4 The Son was made greater than the angels, just as the name that God gave him is greater than theirs.

5 For God never said to any of his angels, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father." Nor did God say about any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son."

6 But when God was about to send his first-born Son into the world, he said, "All of God's angels must worship him."

7 But about the angels God said, "God makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."

8 About the Son, however, God said: "Your kingdom, O God, will last forever and ever! You rule over your people with justice.

9 You love what is right and hate what is wrong. That is why God, your God, has chosen you and has given you the joy of an honor far greater than he gave to your companions."

10 He also said, "You, Lord, in the beginning created the earth, and with your own hands you made the heavens.

11 They will disappear, but you will remain; they will all wear out like clothes.

12 You will fold them up like a coat, and they will be changed like clothes. But you are always the same, and your life never ends."

13 God never said to any of his angels: "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet."

14 What are the angels, then? They are spirits who serve God and are sent by him to help those who are to receive salvation.
